Legislation and Regulations

Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
Often referred to as HASAW or HSW, is an Act of Parliament which is the main piece of UK health and safety legislation. It places a duty on all employers to ensure their safety at work. Health and Safety at Work Act (also referred to as HSWA, the HSW Act, the 1974 Act or HASAWA) is the primary piece of legislation covering occupational health and safety in Great Britain. It is responsible for enforcing the Act and a number of other Acts and Statutory Instruments relevant to the working environment. This is so employees, as well as others on their premises, including temps, casual workers, the self-employed, clients, visitors and the general public stick to the rules and know how to keep themselves and the people around them safe. This will help me become aware of the risks around me.
Health and Safety (DSE) Regulations (1992)
It is a device or equipment that has an graphic display screen. It includes both conventional display screens and those used in emerging technologies such as laptops, touch-screens and other similar devices. Computer workstations or equipment can be associated with neck, shoulder, back or arm pain, as well as with fatigue and eyestrain. Surveys have found that a high proportion of DSE workers report aches, pains or eye discomfort. These aches and pains are sometimes called upper limb disorders (ULDs), which can include a range of medical conditions such as RSI. Most of these conditions do not indicate any serious ill health, but it makes sense to avoid them as far as possible. This is to insure people don't get symptoms such as eye damage or back aches to prevent this they would need to take rest breaks and insure the chair is upright and comfortable for their positioning, also being to hot or cold could effect their health. I need to use this for making my website and to make sure I take plenty of breaks and adjust my work area so I am comfortable and make sure the temperature of the room in just right for working.
Computer Misuse Act (1998)

An Act to make provision for securing computer material against unauthorised access or modification and for connected purposes. The point of this is to keep the privacy of other peoples emails and to stop the risks of being hacked. Its also to keep people aware of keeping their computers unlocked encase of loosing important files which have not been saved.

Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (1998)

Is the current UK copyright law. It gives the creators of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works the right to control the ways in which their material may be used. In many cases, the creator will also have the right to be identified as the author and to object to distortions of his work. This is created to give full credit to the owner of the image/music. This could impact my website if I want to use a specific image or background music.
